This is the second of these single hop Crooked Trees I’ve had and neither has been as good as just Crooked Tree. This is a very cloudy and dark orange brew with just a few whisps of foamy head. The Falconer’s Flight hop seems very mild in the nose but the full body of this beer and a touch of sweetness lend it a nice juicy orange character once tasted. This is a solid IPA, nothing overwhelming. I like this better than the Apollo one because the sweetness here comes of as more pleasant rather than heavy.

12 oz. bottle from notes. Pours a hazy amber color with white floaties throughout. The medium off white head was mostly lasting and left a coating on the glass. The aroma was caramel, orange citrus, herbal and light floral hops. The flavor has moderate bitterness, orange citrus, mild floral notes, moderate spicy hops, caramel . Medium to medium-full bodied that goes down smoothly. I get the floaties in many of their Crooked Tree IPAs.

Aroma from the bottle was indicating some Mango, but all I taste is hop, hop and hop followed by a huge wave of bitterness (which stays long after swallowing on the palate).
Pro tip: don’t drink it to cold, it kills the aroma.
